Matt Maguire joins Gameplanet

A little reshuffling has been going on over at Gameplanet New Zealand, with Dan Cheer off to North America and Matt Maguire joining the team.

Cheer will be spending 6 months in Toronto, Canada, covering North American events for Gameplanet NZ from abroad and taking on the new role of Associate Editor. His last day will be 14th May.

This has left a gap in the local team which is to be filled by Maguire, who has been a freelance writer for just shy of 2 years now and was formerly the editor of Canta, the student magazine at his university. Maguire will be taking on the new role of Senior Writer.

James Cullinane (who is also the Associate Editor here at MCV Pacific) has taken on the role of Editor for Gameplanet NZ, continues to be based out of Sydney and will be the primary contact for all editorial enquiries going forward.
